In January 2020, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment issued the “Opinions on Further Strengthening Plastic Pollution Governance”, which stipulates that by the end of 2020, the catering industry will prohibit the use of irreplaceable disposable plastic straws nationwide. Data show that in 2019, the cumulative output of plastic products in the country was 81.84 million tons, of which nearly 30,000 tons of plastic straws were about 46 billion yuan, and the per capita usage was more than 30. The time may be 500 years, and it is difficult to recover and use. The disposable plastic straws will definitely have a certain impact on the operation of catering companies in a short time. After all, there are not many substitutes for disposable plastic straws, and the cost is slightly higher. It is difficult to control the cost control of catering companies. , But in the long run, if there is a more economical and convenient alternative, then there is no impact, but it is a positive contribution to society. Recently, in some stores, the outer packaging of plastic straws has been printed with a sign of “reducing the use of straws more environmentally friendly”, and the tools of paper straws and plastic straws are placed on the service table at the same time to guide consumers to use. However, for customers, plastic straws and paper straws are still different in the experience. The person in charge of a store said that only one -third of customers will choose to use environmentally friendly paper straws. For enterprises, how to control costs and improve customer experience has become a problem that needs to be solved urgently. It is understood that the average cost of plastic straws is about 0.03 yuan, and paper straws are about 0.1 yuan, more than 3 times the difference. The paper straw is not only more expensive, but also needs to be optimized. The professor Liu Jianguo at the School of Environmental College of Tsinghua University: You can use degradable bioplastics to replace, or use paper or bamboo to replace, including wheat, straw of some plants, can also be used with glass, metals, etc. Products to replace it and choose alternative products based on the scenarios of each consumption. In general, although the use of plastic straws will cause pain to the catering industry, in the long run, such a price is worth it.
The impact will be great. Because plastic straws can provide convenience for customers. Once the plastic straw is disabled, a substitute will not be found for a long time, which will affect sales.
It should not have much impact. Many drinks and fast food restaurants now advocate that they do not need plastic straws or change them to paper straws.
I think it will have a certain impact. Except for various staple foods for fast food, it is drinks. Imagine what if Coke has no straw? Unless you can find a better alternative.

This may cause a certain impact on the fast food industry, because the cost of using other straws may be higher
